Adelaide’s SANFL team must defeat South Adelaide this Saturday to stay in the finals race.

Three consecutive wins by the Crows have kept positions open in the top five and wins in the remaining four games could lift them into the top five at the expense of fifth-placed South.

Central District is the other challenger from outside the current top five but Sturt dropped out of the race on Saturday.

Port, in fourth spot, can secure its finals berth with one more win in its last four games.

For Adelaide to play in the finals it must beat South at Noarlunga and then overcome ladder leader the Eagles, Sturt and Glenelg while relying on South to win a maximum of one of its last three games.

If Central wins its three games and finishes on 19 premiership points, percentage will decide fifth spot.

Crows ticketed members receive free entry to all of Adelaide's minor round SANFL matches.
